A Clarksville man jumped into a convenience store ceiling Tuesday after being questioned about allegedly stealing an energy drink, according to a news release from Clarksville Police spokesman Officer Jim Knoll.

At around 5 p.m. Tuesday, a business owner at 2220 Madison St. confronted Michael Frazier about allegedly stealing an energy drink, the release said. An argument ensued and Frazier ran out of the business, with the owner following him, only to run back into the business and climb into the ceiling area after breaking a ceiling tile, according to Knoll.
